Thane is urban, rural and has many social & developmental
issues and is also experiencing migration.
It was suprising to see human rights issues in middle class families
in Thane and we the world will see how government & politicians
handle these issues.

We had started a separate website only on Thane in 1999.
Then we started IndianNGOs.com, a website focussed on India, India's
villages and became a social enterprise recognised by Ashoka, Washington.

After an almost fatal accident on 28.08.2013
we realised Thane is just one district of India and India is just one
country and NGOs is just one stakeholder. We realised that there are
millions of people working on social & development issues in their
regions, their countries, their continents in 1 world and 1 universe
and noboday takes money or hut, house, palace when she / he leaves this
world.

It is important to promote humans doing work for their communities
& nations across the world and may be in some other countries, their
good work is replicated or scaled up or modified. They and their work
need visibility & promotion. We must promote the work being done
by individuals & institutions for not just human beings but that
of other living beings, nature and non living things.

But we believe that while we share the programmes
across the world, we should still work for the development of Thane.
Now we treat Thane as our global example area and have taken Pimari
as a village where we will work for development of the village as a
global example .Thane was the largest district of India till 14.08.2014 (it was
divided into two districts, Thane & Palghar on 15.08.2014).

Thane is urban as well as rural, was once an area where there were lot
of SMEs, sees migration of humans from all places in India and Thane
has many the social & developmental issues.Thane has a transgender which is the most famous transgender
in India, has houses built illegally, experiences
neglect or inhuman treatment given to the parents & senior citizens
(we are personally experiencing this and want to see how the government
treats this human behaviour)... has great artists (some are local celebrities
and some are famous not just in Thane but across Maharashtra state or
India as a country).

In Thane, we can personally meet poor,
middle class, rich people. Visit officials who work in crematorium,
women who sell vegetables, cobblers, people who sell milk, housemaids
..We plan to share many of them through video in 2016-18 (of course
taking care of their permissions and legalities; like no video of the
person in crematorium)

In Thane, when our cofounder Sanjay Bapat used
to see people living on the streets, ate whatever was available or beg
food, our cofounder started questioning himself as to what is the purpose
of life, why live in a father's house, why eat nutritious food prepared
at home or why eat in a good hotel ? Eating food at home or at
friends houses, or at good hotels almost became a problem when he saw
people staying & eating at roadside level. Manytimes he used to
ask a simple question : "What is the purpose of doing engineering
and then MBA in marketing if you cant work or at least raise voice of
people suffering from economic poverty ?"

But Sanjay Bapat realised that a lot of institutions are doing great
efforts & investing money doing this and instead of repeating the
same, it is important to promote them. So he started a website on Thane
in 1999.

Sanjay Bapat also met a lot of people : some below the poverty line,
some government officials, corporates, NGOs, funding agencies, philanthropists
...
He visited different countries in this world, attended global conferences
and also met people staying in those countries.

Our cofounder Sanjay Bapat realised that each one is born differently
and each one is given birth by parents of different backgrounds. Each
school educated person attends school and is taught by teachers with
different backgrounds and every citizen has a religion, set of political
leaders she / he admires more, celebrities she / he admire like goddess
/ god. He has also seen that the parents giving birth to the person
are good but the person acts in a different manner which cant be justified
be many citizens in this world. Which simple means that each person
is different from other person (actually that is why one started thumb
print as signature because no two thumbs are same and I think in India
one bank has started thumb on the mobile instead of remembering passwords.
...What is important is to use this life
for helping others rather than just worrying. There is no point in just
criticising the situation.

So now, our cofounder Sanjay Bapat thinks that he must treat the person
below the poverty line with the same respect that he gives for business
leaders, political leaders, judicial leaders or anyone from his family.
Thinking like this is ok but implementing this thought is very very difficult.
He is trying hard to behave what he thinks and is not sure if he can behave
like this all the time because business, judges, political leaders ...
have very less time and at the same time, poor seem to have lot of time.

He has personally experienced born humans who
dont even see their own father or father in law or grandfather who has
just expired but still is in this world about to be taken to the crematorium
(he thinks these are people have no emotions ). Let
us be clear that neither the founder nor CSRidentity.com wants to waste
time thinking about inhuman behaviour but we know that each individual
has a different behaviour and some can dictate behaviour of others.
Manytimes we think of not wasting our time but realise that such bad
behaviour must not be replicated, so we must invest some time and use
this as an example sharing bad behaviour.

He has also seen humans who stay in the close vicinity of the just deceased
but not interested to see the just expired citizen for the last time
(humans who act as emotionless people or humans who wrongly feel that
they have won by not seeing a great human)

He has also seen what he believed were good citizens who unfortunately
did not come to see (forget paying respect) the person who was about
to be taken to crematorium. We are sure this is because some physically
close person (not emotionally but unfortunately physical relative) dictates
their behaviour.

He is proud that he sees military people killing opponent country humans
because of country rules (or orders from top) but still treating the
dead military officials from opposing countries with due human nature.
Similarly he see police officials giving their life for the safety of
citizens of this world.

Our cofounder believes that someone has mistreated persons who act
like non humans.
Even during the day he dreams that at the end of each day before going
to sleep, these people will be repenting their act.
Of course this may be a completely wrong feeling. If they dont repent
their own mistakes then it is their decision in this life & we cant
change it.
And this happened or happens in Thane. So treating Thane as a global
example is a good or great way.

Our cofounder believes that it is better to invest time for economically
poor citizens or citizens who work on social & developmental issues
or economically okay people or economically great individuals who work
on issues of each leaf & branch of sustainability tree & how
corporates think about CSR in every department....

But there are great positive things in Thane, like
On 19th February 2016, Thane was the city which started festival where
the artists (singers, theatre personalities...) who sat on a podium
in Masunda Lake (Thane is also known as city of Lakes) at 6 AM in the
morning. And these facilities were organised by Thane MP Shri Rajan
Vichare.
Thane has citizens doing something amazing with science, or citizens
becoming great IAS officials...

So Thane is urban, rural, has a lot of celebrities, good representatives
in government, and also has a lot of untrue or sort of emotionally black
people and therefore Thane is truely a Global example, and can certainly
be an example for Universal development.
